Über diesen Titel
You are looking at the last man on earth who should ever find himself making love to a lady behind an old hay wain and offering her a clandestine promise upon some nameless day. And yet here I am.
WHEN MR. FITZWILLIAM DARCY RETURNS to Hertfordshire a year after last seeing Elizabeth Bennet, he is surprised to find that she has taken up careering around the countryside in a brand new curricle. Even more surprising is the manner in which their verbal sparring turns to good humor, banter, and flirtation. So much so that her neighbors begin to wonder if their attachment is more than just friendly.
WHILE ELIZABETH BENNET IS ENJOYING the freedom that her little Zephyr brings to her, another young lady is not so fortunate. Bound by the strictures of an unforgiving society, the lady is helpless…at least until Elizabeth’s tender heart demands that she provide aid to the hapless miss. When an impulse of compassion turns into another dreadful secret and places her squarely in trouble’s way, she is forced to drive as if her life depends on it, and her last, best hope lies in Mr. Darcy’s willingness to help her through the adventure of a lifetime.
The Zephyr is a variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It is an enemies to lovers, second chance romance. The content of this book is clean/kisses only and low angst.

Soon after the Netherfield party returns once more to London Elizabeth encounters a young lady in need of protection and she instantly decides to help. Her impulsive decision leads to many secrets and troubles. When she sees no way out her only hope is to drive as fast as she can and ask her new friend of Derbyshire for help.
Will Elizabeth be able to help the young lady in need? Will Darcy grant his assistance? And will their teasing and flirting in the end lead to more than an agreeable acquaintance?
The book was very well written by the author Grace Gibson. It was not the first book I read from her and, like before, I liked the author's style of writing very much. The book is written from Elizabeth's point of view in the first person narrative. Therefore we know nearly all of Elizabeth's feelings but can only assume Darcy's.
What I really, really love about this book is the chemistry and the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth. They tease each other and flirt with each other all the time. This is to a degree the normal behaviour of Elizabeth (without so much flirting) but it's unusual for Darcy. But I like this change because I always enjoy it when Darcy is at ease with Elizabeth, shows his witty side and flirts with her. Therefore he is definitely a man to dream of in this variation 😉 ️. I like that their relationship soon after the beginning becomes a really good one, due to this change in Darcy's character. Their encounters are heartwarming and I loved reading their banters so very much. Due to their good relationship they have an early understanding in secret, only to declare it officially requires more time due to certain circumstances.
Elizabeth is the proud owner of her own little carriage in this variation. She won the carriage in a competition. I can very well imagine Elizabeth riding through the countryside on her own with her little carriage. Normally she only walks but racing a bit recklessly with her horses to have a feeling of freedom is something I can picture her doing. Being this wild and unconventional certainly suits her nature (Btw Darcy has a sweet nickname referring to this attitude 😉).
Besides the love story of Darcy and Elizabeth, the story of a young lady in need of protection is also part of this variation. This adds some thrilling to this story because Elizabeth needs to keep her safe and try to find a way to protect her from further harm. And time is working against her. Fortunately, with Darcy's help, she is finally able to set a plan in motion. But do not worry, the variation is not too angsty due to this.
There is one big villain in the story but they do not play an enormous role and they do not act against ODC or their relationship. Fortunately ODC was therefore able to fight them together so that they are not able to do further harm.
The audiobook was narrated by Annabelle Hyde. This was the first time I listened to her narrating an audiobook, but I really enjoyed her narration. She was perfect for this first person narration from Elizabeth's point of view because she really could have been Elizabeth. I hope, in future, she will narrate more Jaff variations. She made a really good book even better through her narration.
If you like to follow Elizabeth with her little curricle and engage with her in her flirting banters with Darcy, you should definitely listen to this excellent audiobook.
I highly recommend it.
